If you want to reset settings and show first run under MacOS, remove the file from your home directory: ~/Library/Preferences/digikamrc Gilles Caulier Hello Gilles - thanks - this works well! Once you told me about this file I was able to edit it using TextEdit on the Macbook and alter the IP address of the router. Digikam started normally after this. I propose we alter the manual to include a section on complete uninstallation on a Mac. It should mention the folders and files that need to be deleted. The most logical section would be in chapter 1 immediately before the section 'Supported Image Formats'. If you support my idea, please let me know how to submit changes to the manual and I will write some text for everyone's comments. Hi, Thanks for your proposal to patch documentation about uninstall procedure. Documentation is hosted in a dedicated gitlab repository : https://invent.kde.org/kde/digikam-doc You can checkout this repository and make a patch of text file (docbook format), to add a new 'uninstall' section. Docbook format is XML like syntax, with large section of text. It's not really complicated. create a new file named "intro-uninstall.docbook" and write content inside with a similar syntax than "intro-imageformats.docbook". https://invent.kde.org/kde/digikam-doc/blob/master/digikam/intro-imageformats.docbook Attach your file to this bugzilla entry. No need to compile the documentation, i will do it, embed this file in documentation stream. and fix syntax if necessary.
